For sure. I've been skating a little bit this summer, but I could definitely use some pointers. See you guys in a month or so.

For sure. I'll be living over on Rose St. this semester (by Happy Hollow park) but it only takes about 10 minutes to skate over to campus.

Yeah...There's a ton of hills will decent speed if you have the cojones to go down them!!
To start you have the two hills surrounding ross-ade...max 25mph...maybe more if you find a day with a good tail wind
Next you have the tri-delts hill and hill-top...tri-delts (30mph) and depending on how high and where you start from in hill top...anywhere from 20-35mph
Then we have Chauncey...i'd say without carving 30mph...depends on how well you tuck...i can make it faster! (but you must love traffic!)
AND FOR THE RIDERS WITH HUGE COJONES (or no sense like me...lol) We have our lafayette hills. Numero Uno being Main street. Main is WICKED!!! easily 40mph standing up...and thats freakin fast...i haven't even tucked down on that hill
The other big one in lafayette is Colombia st...also just as fast if not faster...but the traffic is on-coming and can be sketchy if you get nervous around cars.

There are more hills and more areas to skate...but that should give you a huge start!
Anyone wanting to ride...I am up for it! Always looking for new people that share my love for adrenaline! My name is Chris and I currently live in Cary Quad SE362...stop buy or look me up...or save time and just PM me and we'll ride!! (and again...these hills can be taken waaay slower...but this is as fast as I have gotten on them so far...) Happy Riding!
